Preserving Hmong Batik Through Video Games
This paper presents an ongoing research project examining how video games can help safeguard intangible cultural heritage, focusing on Hmong batik, a resist-dyeing craft practiced by the Hmong people of southwestern China.
- The paper argues games can preserve intangible cultural heritage by reaching audiences that traditional documentation may not, using Hmong batik as its case study.
- The central artifact, Batiked, is a Unity-based 2D platformer whose mechanics mirror the batik process of waxing, dyeing, and melting, with level design drawing on Hmong motifs including stone and mythic imagery.
- The work is framed under Research through Design, treating the prototype as an executable argument and game design itself as a research method bridging ethnographic craft study and human-computer interaction.
Czech Appeal: Use of Local Themes and Settings by a National Game Industry
This paper examines how Czech game developers have incorporated local themes and settings into recent titles, and what this reveals about the relationship between national culture and game production in a peripheral region.
- The paper argues that, despite pressure toward generic international appeal, Czech game production decisions remain strongly shaped by local support networks, tastes, and game culture opinion leaders.
- Developers often choose local settings for practical reasons, since they offer easier access to reference material, and for creative reasons, since they enable more personal storytelling.
- Indie developers relying on asset stores face a notable obstacle: these stores frequently lack distinctly local assets, such as Hussite battle wagons.
